21 Days of Fasting

7 Steps to Fasting

This website from Campus Crusade for Christ gives some great tidbits on how to be successful with your fast.If you’re part of Xtreme, we’ve already been at it for one week. Way to go guys. Two more weeks. You can do this.

If you’ve slipped during your fast, that’s ok.  Fasting is a heart issue and as long as your heart is right, it’s ok if we slip. Just don’t make a habit of being lackadaisical. Work hard and continue to pray and ask the Holy Spirit for help during those tough times of temptation. Pick yourself up and get back at it.

Here’s some good reading to help you through the next two weeks. Remember why you’re fasting. It’s not a diet program. It’s not a habit breaking program. It isn’t a Christian game. It’s to deny yourself so that God sees you’re serious enough to answer your prayers.
